About

Ashlee is Mama of one darling boy. A 28 week early bird, now 1 and some change, doing beautifully. She lives near Chicago with her sweetheart husband and French Bulldog. She's a thinker not afraid to get her silly on. Babywearer, veggie queen, photography nut. Before the domestic days Ashlee was pursuing a future in developmental psychology but has happily shifted gears in favor of staying at home and couldn't imagine doing anything else. In her free time (ha!) you can find her whipping up babyslings, holding down the fort at Mama Speaks and spotlighting as an Itsy Bitsy Yoga Instructor.

Maybe it's always been this way and I'm just noticing because I have been eating, sleeping, breathing this thing for weeks, but gift guides seem to be all the rage this year. And while I am sure there are some good one's out there, I like to think that Mama Speaks Holiday Guide is, oh, the best! Thanks to my awesome team's brainpower, hardwork and some really late nights (and my awesome husbands mad design skills) we've compiled our favorite things for everyone on your list this holiday season. Check it out, it's like Oprah, only less screaming.
